Before we dive into the recipe vault, let’s pause and reflect on what Passover is all about.
Passover (Pesach) marks the moment God broke chains and set His people free from slavery in Egypt. But here’s the real deal—it's not just a historical event, it's a living testimony of God’s power.
Think of it like this: the Israelites had to apply the blood of a perfect
lamb to their doorposts for their protection. So that death would 'pass over' them. This act of faith led them out of captivity, and it’s no different for us today.
In the New Testament, we see how the Lamb of God (Yeshua/Jesus) shed His blood to set us free from sin and death, just as God delivered His people from Egypt. This alone is worth celebrating this magnificent holiday and praise Him for He is worthy!
Let’s talk
unleavened bread—matzah. This simple flatbread symbolizes the haste in which the Israelites had to leave Egypt. But spiritually, it’s a reminder of the need to remove the “yeast” or sin from our lives. Eating it during Passover? A small, crunchy reminder that we are called to live free of the things that weigh us down. If you’ve never fully removed all yeast and yeast products from your home, I highly recommend giving it a try. It’s an amazing revelation to see how yeast
seems to lurk in the corners of your pantry. And, it truly parallels how sin can subtly sneak into our lives without us even realizing it.
Bitter herbs (maror) reflect the years of suffering endured by the Israelites in Egypt. Yet, spiritually, they’re also a reminder of the bitterness of sin and how it keeps us bound. Contrast that with charoset—a sweet, fruity paste, symbolizing the mortar the slaves used to build Pharaoh’s
cities. The sweetness? God’s ability to bring beauty and hope, even out of our hardest moments.
But here’s the thing: Passover isn’t just about reflecting on the past. It’s about remembering how that past connects to your present freedom in Christ, how His sacrifice sets us free today, and how we can live in the fullness of that freedom.
